Dave W.-Nova Scotia, Canada:
hi at around 8 30 pm tonight, 6 nov 2011 i saw a very fast very bright, and either very close or very large object streak accross the sky over my house, in bear river nova scotia, it was travelling north east as a rough guess and it was so close and so bright that i thought it was a firework, but it moved too fast and straight i checked outside, no people around, no smell or noise of fireworks anywhere, i just wondered if anyone else saw it, funny thing is that it seemed more rounded that i have ever seen a falling star so maybe it was a meteor? if anyone else saw it please let me know, thanks, Dave Thanks Dave...OTHERS? Emailwxtx01@gmail.comTHANK YOU!

Valerie K.-Sydney, NS
Hi there,
I was walking my dog in the dark field next to my place and I happened to see it. A bright circular white light headed straight downwards, quickly.
I was'nt sure I had really seen what I just saw. (If that makes any sense to you... )
A multitude of different things passed through my mind of what it could have been, from the rational to the insane. (It was really fast, and I did'nt have enough time to focus on the object 100%) Anything from a shooting star, to a fallen piece of a satellite, to me having a brain tumour 'phenomenon' style (lol), and even aliens...
I saw it anywhere between 8h25 and 8h35, so the timing is right.
I saw it from Sydney, NS. Saw it fall North-West.. with a lot more emphasis on the West. Thank you Valerie. Confirmation!

ASTEROID FLYBY: NASA radars are monitoring 2005 YU55, an asteroid the size of an aircraft carrier, as it heads for a Nov. 8th flyby of the Earth-Moon system. There is no danger to our planet. At closest approach on Tuesday at 3:28 pm PST (23:28 UT), the 400m-wide space rock will be 324,600 kilometers away, about 85% the distance from Earth to the Moon.

Professional astronomers are eagerly anticipating the flyby as the asteroid presents an exceptionally strong radar target. Powerful transmitters at Goldstone and Arecibo will...MORE
